Why Use 3D Text?

3D text adds depth and dimension that makes your designs stand out — perfect for social media posts, YouTube thumbnails, banners, and event flyers.

Step 1 — Add Your Text

Open CapybaraLand and click the Text tool in the left toolbar. Click anywhere on your canvas and type your desired text.

Step 2 — Choose a Bold Font

3D effects look best on bold, thick fonts. Open the Font panel in the right sidebar and choose a heavy weight (700–900). Fonts like Inter Black, Montserrat ExtraBold, or Poppins Bold work great.

Step 3 — Apply the 3D / Shadow Effect

In the Effects panel, toggle on 3D Shadow. You will immediately see a layered depth effect applied to your text.

Step 4 — Adjust Depth and Color

Use the Depth slider to control how thick the 3D layers are. Click the Shadow Color swatch to change the shadow color — try a darker shade of your text color for a realistic look, or a contrasting color for a pop-art style.

Step 5 — Export PNG or PDF

When you are happy with your design, click Export in the top-right corner. Choose PNG for social media (supports transparent background) or PDF for print-ready quality.

💡 Pro tip: Export as PNG with a transparent background so you can drop your 3D text onto any image or video thumbnail without a white box behind it.
